Into the Abundant Life

(Becoming a Faithful Christian)

Into the Abundant Life, a revision of Becoming a Faithful Christian,
was prepared specifically for the "America 2008" project to help spread
the gospel throughout America.

The book has three main divisions. The first part (approximately 300 pages) is a discussion
of how to become a Christian and how to live as a Christian. This section assumes that the
reader has never heard the gospel and may not have another opportunity to hear. He is
introduced to God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, the inspired Scriptures, the earthly life and
death of Jesus, the Resurrection, and the church that Jesus built. He is then told how to
become a Christian and live as one in his community. There are instructions on how to be
baptized and how to establish a congregation, as well as suggestions on organizing worship
services.

The second division is an updated New American Standard version of the New Testament.

The third division is a four-page study guide, which is designed for a Christian
to share with a reader in order to bring him into Christ.
